Cliff under a Tree (CliffTree) - Datapack

CliffTree 3.1.3

Notes for 1.21.1 backport:

• Requires Vanilla Backport
• For now, requires Feature Recycler due to feature order cycle crashes. A fix will be looked into in the future

This update improves and optimizes many technical aspects of CliffTree, and should provide a more coherent experience. It also tweaks certain biomes and makes a few gameplay changes.

New feature: World Type Selection

• All world types now function correctly, using functionality provided by Lithostitched
• CliffTree's mod version now requires Lithostitched to be installed
  • The datapack version can still be used without it, but world types other than Default will not function
  • Using Lithostitched also allows CliffTree's surface rules to not break when using Terrablender, making it more compatible with other worldgen mods

Reworked Glacier Valleys

• Reworked glacier valleys to include blue and light blue terracotta bands, as well as blue ice glaciers
• Powder snow now generate deeper, but only around the glaciers, allowing cautious players to maneuver around them
• Lapis lazuli ore generates more frequently here, similar to gold ore in badlands

Jungle tweaks

• Now have mud patches and occasional pools
• Firefly bushes now generate
• Mushrooms generate more densely
• Bogged can rarely spawn
• Slightly changed the foliage color
• With the exception of tweaked foliage color, sparse jungles are unchanged

Flower forest tweaks

• Now have denser flowers and grass
• Now have patches of wildflowers and pink petals
• Ponds and cobblestone boulders can now generate here
• Firefly bushes now generate

Gameplay tweaks

• Sand no longer supports regular foliage
  • This was a legacy feature from before dry foliage was added, and is being removed for better compatibility
  • Warm rivers now generate with small coarse dirt patches along the edges, allowing firefly bushes to still generate
• Removed small dripleaf from moss bonemeal vegetation
  • Dripleaves caused issues with certain moss-based farms
• Non-exposed sandstone in deserts are no longer smooth
  • This makes desert quarries insta-mineable
• Added recipe to de-craft snow blocks into snowballs
  • Since snow blocks drop themselves in CliffTree, this allows snowballs to still be obtained from them
• Removed "Distant Lands" advancement
• All 82 vanilla and CliffTree biomes are now required for "Adventuring Time"

Other tweaks and fixes

• Cherry groves have less dense pink petals
• Red sand is once again deeper in badlands
• Surface lava lakes in deserts and badlands now have sandstone or red sandstone borders
• Removed lava lakes from oasis surfaces
• Removed Cliffman
• Removed emerald ore generation from cherry groves, meadows, and savanna plateaus
  • CliffTree's generation makes them often appear lower to the ground, making them not strictly mountain biomes
  • They can still occasionally have emerald ore if they generate bordering a mountain
• Snowy spruce and cherry trees no longer dig their logs into the ground
• Optimized and reworked several features
  • Terracotta bands in biomes like savanna plateau are now replaced using more performant disk-based methods
  • Removed some outdated and unnecessary features
